Rock Stone Lyrics

(Verse 1)Rock stone was my builder couldn’t find place fi sleepPop dem head wi haffi find food fi eatEveryday wi terrorize by soldier and policeWhen the thing dem a drum and thing dem a beatFrom dem a play cow boy, and Indian, and ChiefFrom the first, to the third, straight up to seven streetOne thing in a wi mind a fi jump wid the beatAnd meck it in a life, and inherit, and delete

Better the stone dem deh yahSelf employ, cannot get lay offMount a work mi have cant even get a day offWho did waan fi stop mi now dem find out seh dem way offAlright and mi seh one by one, one by oneOne by one wi stepping out a babylon

Then one by one, one by oneHail King Selassie High the cankering lion

(Listen Chorus)

(Verse 2)Help us nowTake us from the slumNever keep a bottle while strictly fire burnTare us down, take us from the slumNever keep on matter while king Selassie High blessing comeSufferation is thing could be no harder timeGot to wise in your views caw they broader your mindWatch the voice in the ghetto now where else can you findHunger, Poverty, a teach dem so unkindAs a matter a fact, there is a after shockWhen the ground was my bed and my pillow was a rockTry to make it through the system all the doors were lockYea nothing beat a…..so I ain’t go stopMount a time they write a book on yoOr set another crock they would a put on yuhYet when yuh in to dept they wouldn’t look on yuhThey would only stand and wanna wipe the foot on yuh

Mi nah lie, true mi hail King Selassie High dem waan fi war IRead mi bible through the week and praise the fariGood bye babylon good bye, good byeOpen door, zion doorMount zion Ethiopia for sureChildren of Israel, children of Israel
